This is a really nice spot!! Beautiful cozy interior with a surprising amount of seating. The Persian fog was so pretty & delicious, & the saffron cake was exactly what I was craving. Didn't get a chance to try any other food but it all looked absolutely delicious & fresh. Highly recommend!

A cappuccino with oat milk for $8 is simply outrageous. The price would be easier to accept if the service matched it, but unfortunately it didn't.

When I mentioned that I had enjoyed excellent coffee at many other cafés across the city for much less, the staff member responded by saying,'This is local coffee, not Tim Hortons.' I found that comment incredibly arrogant, dismissive, & unprofessional. Instead of listening to a customer's feedback, she chose to be condescending.

I've had outstanding local coffee all over the city without paying this much or being treated this way. Great coffee alone doesn't justify poor customer service. I won't be coming back, & I certainly can't recommend this place.

This is a beautiful cafe. Much more beautiful than I expected: the Persian carpets, the design everything is done with a lot of care. The menu has a lot of variety & has a lot of the Persian signature drinks & even a Persian fog. I would highly recommend coming here. The only thing people need to know is that there's a small space for people who want to use their laptop. Otherwise it's a wonderful cafe to go to.

Première fois au Café Aunja & certainement pas la dernière ! Ambiance très agréable, cuisine délicieuse (j'ai pris le petit déjeuner complet) & un thé iranien divin. Je recommande vivement! Servie par Ilias avec le sourire.

Honestly one of the most aesthetically pleasing cafes I have visited lately. The interior design is stunning & creates such a calming vibe that is hard to come by in such a busy part of town. I really enjoyed the selection of teas & the overall quietude of the space. It is a great spot to bring a book or just sit & enjoy the quiet for an hour or two. Highly recommended for a low key afternoon.

Expensive experience, but I would say for the most part it's worth it. As a student, the computer policy is a little confusing & inconsistent. I've had a good number of their drinks, overall tasted pretty good, except one time I was recommended a ginger tea, my throat & tongue hurt for the rest of the day. Other than that, only positive experiences.
